What happened in Turkish football today? 20/08/2019

Fenerbahce had gained huge morale in start of the season.

Fenerbahce has shown a great start to the new season as it has managed to get an impressive win against Gazisehir Gaziantep, ending game during 1st 30 minutes of the game and doesnt provide any chances to its opponents.

In all fairness to its opponents, Gazisehir Gaziantep on their own hand didnt provide much pressure towards Fenerbahce due of factor that game has been started at high tempo and also due of factor that Gaziantep are going through some crucial changes as team right now. Therefore, it is difficult to analyse much strength of Fenerbahce for this season especially when coming in defensive but a positive factor of the game that we have seen a team which was hungry to provide an attacking game. Return of Emre Belozoglu and his crucial role for the team has also become pretty clear from his performance yesterday as he has become best player at the team by the mile. Without doubt this win has also provided huge motivation for a team for upcoming games especially taking account that it would play 2 important games back-to-back against potential league title opponents.

Therefore, even through at morale and also positive view of attacking style, next game against Basaksehirspor and followed Trabzonspor game will become much better reference point for team.

Toulouse has loaned Besiktas player Isimat Mirin.

Besiktas has loaned its player Nicolas Isimat-Mirin to Toulouse for 1 year with an option for purchase as it has managed to get rid of one of its players which it didnt want to see at its squad this season.

Isimat Mirin didnt provide his expectations during past season at the defensive area and hence has become one of the main players which team has been aiming to sell during this summer transfer window and it did have some trouble to do so until today. With Toulouse showing good interest to him and also for player be able to be playing at mediocre team like that could be good deal for both sides and if he would be able to provide good performance their are good chances that Toulouse would use that option. Nicolas Isimat Mirin didnt manage as been stated to fulfill his expectations at the team but this transfer does mean that Besiktas would need now to focus into defensive player transfer.

This deal would satisfy Besiktas but it is important to state that defense area as been stated above is being among main areas to fill until summer transfer window is going to end soon.

Kayserispor has loaned Galatasaray player Viktor Ozornwafor for 1 year.

Kayserispor has loaned Galatasaray player Viktor Ozorwafor which was main aim for Istanbul giant club as foremost it was considering to provide some experience to player at other club and also reduce its foreign players which has overpassed regulation limit.

There were active talks of loaning Ozornwafor as soon as he was transferred to the team at the end of June and main focus of Galatasaray since then has been to find team which would be suitable for him. Taking account that Kayserispor are among teams which has high aims such as getting Europa League spots this season, Ozornwafor joining this team could be an important place as he would be able to recieve high amount of gameplay at high competitive side and hence get used to tempo and expectations which are set at Super League. If things would go as planned it would be reasonable to expect that Ozornwafor would return to Galatasaray a stronger and more adapted to league player next year.

This deal is good one for both sides without doubt and would be able to help Ozornwafor to get used to new league and expectations.
